Our Bodies, Our Late Night • This is an interesting look behind-the-scenes at the sexist world of Late Night television written by a woman who used to work for Letterman. I would make a "take back the Late Night" joke, but that would probably be inappropriate. So nevermind.

Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...

Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....

I was in the paradoxical situation where I had enough time to spare to think up a somewhat elaborate .GIF, yet not enough time to think of a good joke to go with it. Now I wish I'd saved it for when I have some inspiration.

Yes I am sure there were just millions of women who were hilarious and intelligent that just got passed on because they we women. I can see it now:
"Well you are a perfect fit for the job, but there is just one thing that troubles us. You are a woman. Is there anything we can do to change that? No? Ok well I am sorry but we will have to pass. Thanks." - Imaginary Late Show HR Rep From My Bad Hypothetical

The problem is that the world loves Tina Fey and since she is ONE female who is funny and a successful actress and writer that means that ALL women must have the same opportunities as her, which unfortunately is untrue. I would like to think we live in a world where women and men of all races and sexes (Sorry Tom Cruise) have an opportunity to write jokes that we as an audience can laugh or scoff at. Except for Jay Leno, because he is the worst.

Um, I think she makes good points. I also think that, culturally, it's easier for a man to pursue comedy writing as a career than a woman. "Why don't you just be a teacher??" ---My Dad
